Disney Can’t Let It Go, Announces ‘Frozen 2’

When it comes to Frozen fever, it seems like Disney just can’t let it go.

The House of Mouse announced on Thursday that the sequel to the 2013 animated hit is officially in production. Disney CEO Bob Iger, CCO John Lasseter, and Olaf himself (actor Josh Gad) broke the news during the company’s annual shareholders meeting.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that Frozen 2 is getting the green light from the studio as the first film raked in over a billion dollars at the box offices.

Directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, as well as producer Peter Del Vecho, will be returning to helm Disney’s highly-anticipated sequel.

As of now, a release date and production details are still “on ice,” according to a press release.
